Public Works and Transportation Committee 7 22 25 Agenda Item D 2 Lab Testing Services

The City of Oxnard's Public Works and Transportation Committee reviewed and recommended approval of a contract with Your Fins Eaten Analytical LLC for laboratory testing services. The contract spans an initial one-year term from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with options for four additional one-year extensions, totaling up to $2,325,000. These services are critical for compliance with state and federal permits requiring regular sampling and analysis of water, wastewater, and recycled water. The city conducted a competitive RFP process, receiving three proposals, and selected Your Fins Eaten Analytical LLC based on qualifications, certifications, expertise, and cost. Funding for the initial year is secured in the 2025-2026 budget across multiple water-related funds, with future funding subject to annual budget approvals.
